Also, I don't consider KW an 80's synthpop band. They're in
a category for themselves :)

80's Synth Pop is gold. I love New Order to pieces, Joy
Division too. But the latter isn't considered synth pop.
Depeche Mode was great too.

The only 80s synth pop i listen to is gary numan. Cars is
one of the best songs ever, IMO.

NIN style music.

i agree with Paco. kraftwerk definitely deserves their own
category. they were around even before Depeche Mode, so you
might say they pioneered Electronic music.Besides there
would be no "techno" music because Kraftwerk were the first
to coin that term in relation to music. that being said
Depeche Mode have definitely influenced electronic music too
and they are great in their own right. But Kraftwerk was one
of the first to break through, hell they even had to make
their own equipment just like Aphex, I doubt Martin and Dave
have ever whipped out the toolbox and hacked a new piece of
equipment together.

I love, love, love Depeche Mode! Martin Gore is a genius!
New Order is ehh. Joy Division and Kraftwerk rock, though.

KW forever....wonder if we'll ever hear anything else from
them...

Last was that EXPO2000 theme from 2000 (duh)...but that was
a commission from the German govt or someone similar (think
they got tonns of money for it and it caused a bit of press
trouble when the figure was leaked to the German
public...)...

I'd much rather they stood down rather than released stuff
that would ruin their track record...they must be in a
pretty tricky spot artistically...

They should have had kids and created a new Kraftwerk that
way...:)...
